Overview - IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller PCIe

Content

The IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller PCIe (43W4324) provides a solid performing storage solution for managing internal and external storage. The Ultra320 SCSI Controller delivers PCIe connectivity and unmatched system flexibility for attaching SCSI devices to a workstation or server, including tape drives and tape libraries, protecting the investment in existing hardware.

For companies faced with the need to maximize existing infrastructure investments, the IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller PCIe single-channel host bus adapter (HBA) offers seamless backward compatibility between previous-generation SCSI devices and the new PCIe host bus interface.

The low-profile Ultra 320 SCSI single-channel HBA is based on an Adaptec SCSI processor offering. It can handle medium to large capacity tape storage applications over a higher performing PCI-Express x1 lane, and can be managed through BIOS Configuration Utility.
